Solaris Express, Developer Edition - laptop installation
Yesterday I have installed Solaris Express, Developer Edition. Something amazing? Yes this was the first time, that I did all the steps that normal user should made to install this nice operating system. Before I was using jumpstart, which means that I was using network installation.
This was so easy that I am happy to share this experience with you.

Palm LifeDrive with SanDisk Extreme III 4GB
I am a happy owner of Palm LifeDrive.
Before modifications that I have made, I couldn't say the same ;)
Inspired by :
Howto replace microdrive with compactflash in LifeDrive
and
How to manually install PalmOS on a LifeDrive HDD
I have made fresh customized ROM and replaced internal microdrive with SanDisk Extreme III 4GB CF, which gived quite amazing speed-up.
The only thing that I would be aware of is the number of writes that CF can handle, but I will post updates, as soon as my CF will fail ;) I know it is not a small number, so maybe I will never post updates (I hope so)

Wikipedia for indexers testing
Mikkel from tracker mailing list had nice idea to dump Wikipedia to text files for testing indexers. See:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/tracker-list/2007-January/msg00180.html
So I've created small application that can be run from the command line as well with the swing gui called JWikiTextGetter.
To run it, just grab the binaries from HERE
UPDATE:
According to the wikipedia page, it is not welcome to use web crawlers to download large numbers of articles.

Glendalough trip
Glendalough is the countryside about 40km drive from Dublin. With it's famous round tower, beautiful lakes and gorgious mountains it really helps to forget about city crowd. It was first time, that I met so strong wind in the mountains, it gives respect and a little of fun.

After attending on many lectures and meeting bunch of clever and nice guys, I can say, that it was really great time on aKademy conference. Because I am rather Gnome that KDE, I had many interesting talks about it and in fact, from my point of view, we are in one big community Open Source people.
Thanks again for this great event!

Autumn legue - second race
Today in early morning, we had second race in Autumn legue event. The waves were really huge (for me, because as for now I was sailing mostly on lakes), so we had a lot of fun. We have finished with second time, but handicap gived us 17th position.
Waiting for next Sunday :)

Java-gnome bindings updates
After reviewing some parts of the code, together with Steven Xusheng Hou, we have posted first multipatch for java-gnome bindings. Andrew Cowie, the maintainer of the Java-Gnome project wrote on his blog:
"Of particular note are large contributions of patches and cleanups to the example code which ships with the sources of each library in doc/examples from the Sun team in Ireland. You guys are terrific."

Autumn legue - that's really nice sailing
This Sunday I had a pleasure to race in Autumn League, with really nice people from Fanatix boat. They are sailing from ages (I am not saying, that they are old... :) ) and they needed someone for the crew, for Autumn League. Good wind gave us right to be first at the finishing line, but being first at the finishing line, does not mean being first - "handicap". After reviewing handicap we had 6th place. Weather was brilliant, sunny and windy and of course after it nice party in the Howth Yacht Club. More days like this!

Our boat type is X-40, which is the same like on below picture.

Cool swing stuff
For those, who likes swing and those who don't, I recommend to see Romain Guy's weblog:
http://www.jroller.com/page/gfx
There is cool stuff and a lot of swing code, that is worth looking, especially Page "Best Of" gives other view on swing. Almost all examples are using WebStart, so it is easy to try them out.

Dublin shock :)
So, after 2 months living in Dublin, I can say, that I like people and working environment here. Of course coming to Dublin without "Dublin shock" is quite impossible, but I am lucky, because weather is really nice since I came here.
From time to time I will post some pictures here, of course not only from work!

cheers
